Open Office
Scots Gaelic Language Version
The Gaelic language version of Open Office can be downloaded from http://ftp.linux.cz/pub/localization/OpenOffice.org/1.1.1/OOo_1.1.1_Gaelic.zip
The Open Source office software package Open Office has been translated into Gaelic and is now freely available to schools and individuals in Scotland and beyond.
This version of the Open Office suite was launched on 2 June 2005, having previously been trialled at a Gaelic medium school in North Lanarkshire, and will be distributed to other Gaelic language schools in the Autumn.
The translation project was funded by the Scottish Executive through the education body, Learning and Teaching Scotland.
This free open source software application features similar to commercial products such as Microsoft Office, including a word processor, presentation manager, a spreadsheet program and database tools.
